iPhone-Killing BlackBerry Storm Coming to Verizon Next Month
Beyond that, the Storm becomes RIM's very first touchscreen phone, mounting a 3.26-inch 480 x 360 glass display on a unique clickable surface so that the entire thing can be pressed downwards -- just like a real button -- for tactile feedback when making selections.
The phone also includes a full HTML finger-navigable browser, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint editing capabilities, Bluetooth 2.0, 1GB of on-board storage with an 8GB microSD card bundled in the box, 3.5mm headphone jack, automatic orientation and ambient lighting sensors, and a 3.2-megapixel autofocus cam with dedicated flash, making it a legitimate jack-of-all-trades that seems likely to be able to handle even the most chaotic personal and professional lives users can throw its way.
It'll allegedly do 15 days of standby or 5.5 hours of talk time on either GSM or CDMA networks.
No word on pricing yet -- we're told all will be revealed "in the coming weeks" -- but it'll launch on both Verizon and Vodafone in November.

What these phone need now is the projected keyboard so that you can sit the phone down, it projects a keyboard on a flat surface and you type on that image. The technology already exists and works well. It solves the majority of problems of having a lousy keyboard, etc.

Yeah, Blackberry Storm has lots of function, good looking and touchscreen too. Really it will kill iPhone's market.That is why Blackberry Storm and Blackberry Storm accessories both are in great demand in the market. Browse http://www.fommy.co.uk/blackberry-storm-9530.htm for accessories of BB Storm.We are just waiting for the launching of this phone.

Robert Tice, or should I say Spock? Come back to Earth and think about that comment. Its not like we all live on the Enterprise and can just replicate whatever we imagine. A projected/holigraphic keyboard comming out of a PDA/Cellphone, come on now. I really do hope the Storm comes and does some serious damage to IPhone, its time and RIMM is the one to do it!!!

Not to sure about the "clickable" screen. Seems like its going to be a problem when wanting to click on links on websites. Being that mosy likely when u press the screen its going to be a big print on the screen. so if u have to links close to each other it will false activtate the wrong one most likely.
